Named for Their Grandparents.

The attention of parents with chill
dren to name is respectfully called to
the melancholy paragraph which fol-
lows. Mr.. j, being on one Occa-
sion belated in the mountains of Geor-
gia, stopped at little cabin and asked
a nights shelter of the ownef, who
was sitting at the front door in all the
luxury of shirt sleeves and a rush-bot-
toned chair tilted well back against
the wall 1t was Hospitality accorded.
A supper Consisting of bacon and corn
bread was set before him, and the con-
versation turning upon the fine past
ure-lands of that section, Mr.. j
modestly insinuated that he would
have supposed it possible to keep
COW for the benefit of the two children
whom he saw playing about the room.
'.They don't need it; they are all
right as long as that thar lasts" said
the father, pointing with jerk of his
thumb to a barrel of whisky sitting in
one corner Properly Terrified, Mr..
j. expostulated, but in vain. 1T
keeps 'em screwed up like fiddle all
the time, explained the fond parent.
This incident led to some further talk
about the little ones, and Mr.. j
affably asked their names
This here one" (here the mother
dragged forward shame-faced young
ster in ''butternut,' y chopin you'll ex-
cuse his looks, was named for my paw
Joseph Edward Malcolm Norton
Gunter"
1t was ratified off as one mouthful in
singing voice, and Mr.. j, to
whom comment was difficult, said,

Secretary whitaey's New Estate.

An interesting story may be told of
how the Secretary managed to win
over the former proprietor of the es-
tate (Grasslands.) The tenacity of
the old-time Maryland or Virginia
planter for his patrinloni States =
proverbial. He would often rather
exc out an existence of debt and incon-
venience than to sacrifice his acres and
live in competency and relief. With
out word the Secretary made up his
mind what he was willing to pay for
the estate, which comprised about 105
acres. Instead of greenbacks, prom
issories, bonds, mortgages, and such
mythical evidences of tangible values
to the average rural mind. the Secre-
tary converted the whole sum into hard
bimetallic cash, eagles" with golden
wings and standards" bearing the
legend I'm God We Trust" He drove
to the mansion, and seating himself at
a riekety table of the colonial era.
placed the bags of ringing coin before
the mystified relic of the old regime.
Twenty thousand in sight versus spec
ulative crops, realistic taxation and
enough to shake even the traditional
loydity oA lnc IoAS-sunoiinS anu LII
pecunious legatee OF an ancient family
and noble name. The bargain was
struck. The Secretary that evening
drove back to town the proprietor of a
beautiful estate, the planter remained
with his ducats. Twenty thousand
dollars restored the old family seat to
more than its former splendor, and
never was hospitality more lavishly
dispensed than it is to-day under its
generous host and hostess. Phtlddel-

Miss SAKE i'm Her Mothers Gown.

A writer in the Kansas City Jour-
nal relates this anecdote of the late
John G. SAKE and his favorite daugh-
ter, Sarah. 1t was the custom of the
family to spend much of each Summer
at Saratoga. One Summer it was de-
cided that Sarah should remain at
home in charge of the younger chill
dren instead of accompanying her
parents, as had been her former Gus
tom. This decision reused the wrath
of the young lady, and awakened all
that latent obstinacy which her father
claimed for her. In vain she remon-
strated. Her best clothing was put
under lock and key, and her parents
departed. charging her to be good
girl, and to content herself until their
return. The season was at its height,
and many persons brilliantly conspic-
uous in literary circles were gathered
under the flashing of the watering
place chandeliers. SAKE held his court
at one end of the saloon that August
evening, and sat conveniently facing
the entrance door, when a servant an
nounced Miss Sake" The poet rails
ed his eye-glass to behold Sarah, a
miss of Is, haughtily sweeping down
the grand parlors, dragging after her
her mothers best Winter gown of vel
vet, and glittering with her mothers
trinkets. 1t was warm work enduring
that heavy, oppressive finery. but for
three days father and daughter held
their little Independent courts at the
famous watering-place, each ignoring
the others presence clear case of
''Greek meet Greek" At the end of

General Lee in The Wilderness Cam
paign.

From an illustrated description from
the Wilderness to Cold Harbor, in the
Century, we quote as follows. General
Lee held so completely the admiration
and confidence of his men that his con-
ciZed. Few points present themselves
in his campaign from the Wilderness
to Cold HarbOr upon which criticism
can lay hold,r when all the circum-
stances are considered. His plan of
striking the flank of Grants army as it
passed through the Wilderness is above
criticism. Fault can be found only
with its execution. The two divisions
Anderson's division of Hills corps left
on the Upper Rapidan, were too widely
separated from the rest of the army,
and, as the event proved, should have
been in supporting distance of A. 2.
afternoon of the 9th of May. That he
did not strike Grant damaging blow
when he had him at such disadvantage
on the North Anna may seem strange to
those who had witnessed his bold
aggressiveness at the Wilderness and
on other fields. He was i'll and con-
fined to his tent at the time; but, as
showing his purpose he had been able
to keep the saddle, he was heard to
say, as he lay Frustrated. by sickness,
We must strike them blow; we must
never let them pass us again What
ever General Lee did, his men thought
it the best that could be done under
the circumstances. Their feeling
towards him is well illustrated by the
remark of a ragged rebel who took off
his hat to the general as he was pass
ing and received like courteous salute
in return: "God bless Marse .Roberti
l wish he was emperor of this country
and was his carriage-driver.'

Imposing on the Bridegroom.

The mode of procedure in the vii
lage of Galashiels was as follows:
Early in the day after the marriage
those interested in the proceedings as
seInbled at the house of the newly
welded couple, bringing with them a
''creeP' or basket, which they filled
with stones. The young husband, on
being brought to the door, had the
creel firmly fixed to his back, and with
it in this position had to run the round
of the town, or at least the chief por-
ton of it, followed by number of men
to see that he did not drop his burden;
the only condition on which he was al
lowed to do so being that his wife
should come after him and kiss him.
As relief depended altogether upon the
wife, it would sometimes happen that
the husband did not need to run more
than few yards; but when she was
more than ordinarily bashful, or wished
to have little sport at the expense of
her lord and master-which it may be
supposed would not unfrequently be
the case-he had to carry his load
considerable distance This custom
was very strictly enforced, and the
person who was last creeled had charge
of the ceremony, and he was naturally
anxious that no one should escape.
The practice, as far as Galashiels was
concerned, came to an end about one
hundred years ago, with the person of
one Robert Young, who, on the osten-
sible plea of a ''sore back" lay abed
all the day after his marriage, and OBJ
stinately refused. to get up and be
ereeled. He had, it may be added in
extenuation, been twira ried be-

stiuct,

As Roehefoucauld saws, there is
something in the misfortunes of our
very friends that does not altogether
displease us; and an apostle of peace
will feel a certain vicious thrill run
through him, and enjoy viearious
brutality, as he turns to the column
in his newspaper at the top of which
shocking atrocity" stands printed in
large capitals. See how the crowd
hocks round the street-braWli Con-
slider the enormous annual sale of re-
volvers to persons, not one in a thou
sand of whom has any serious inten-
ton of using them, but of whom each
one has his carnivorous self-conscious-
ness agreeably tickled at the notion,
as he clutches the handle of his wea-
pom, that he will be rather danger
. Gus customer to meet. See the igno-
bic crew that escorts every great pu-
gilist-parasites who feel as though
the glory of his brutality rubbed off
upon them, and whose darling hope,
from day to day, is to arrange some
set-to of which they may share the
rapture without enduring the pains.
The first blows at prize-fight are apt
to make refined spectator sick; but
his blood is soon up in favor of one
party, and it will then seem as if the
other fellow could not be banged and
pounded and mangled enough-the re-
fined spectator would like to reen-
force the blows himself Over the
sinister orgies of blood of certain de-
praved and insane persons let cur

rocity with which otherwise fairly de-
cent men may be animated, when Cat
the sacking of town, for instance).
the excitement of victory long de-
layed, the sudden freedom of rapine
and of lust, the contagion of crowd,
and the impulse to initiate and outdo,
all combine to swell the blind drunk
enness of the killing-instinct, and car
nv it to its extreme. No! those who
try to account for this from above
downward, as if it resulted from the
consequence of the victory being rap
idly inferred, and from the agreeable
sentiments associated with them in the
imagination, have missed the root of
the matter. Our ferocity is blind, and
can only be explained from beloao.
Could we trace it back through our
line of descent, we should see it taking
more and more the form of a fatal re-
fiex response, and at the same time be-
coming more and more the pure and
direct emotion that it is.-Prof. Wal

Young people, whose lives are spent
In cities, have no idea of the iun their
country fellows have in ''goih' ber-
ryin'," as it is sometimes called. In
deed, it has appeared to me that our
country boys and girls did not make
all they might out of it. They can
collect all that can be used at home,
fresh. dried. or preserved, and enough
besides to bring quite good sum in
the way of pocket money, if sold;
besides all this-the fun! The way to
get the most fun is to hold berrying
picnics, where a jolly, not too large
party make a day of it. Such hunting
for the places where the fruit is thick
